From 928aff8a025f6c85be22b47a110e09f55b9b8f8f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Trawick Date: Mon, 18 Mar 2002 18:24:55 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Fix a hang condition with graceful restart and prefork MPM in the situation where MaxClients is very high but much fewer servers are actually started at the time of the restart. The way we notify an entire generation to die at once is changed so that we don't have to use the pod (and deal with the ease of filling the kernel pipe buffer). git-svn-id: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk@93999 13f79535-47bb-0310-9956-ffa450edef68 --- CHANGES | 5 +++++ server/mpm/prefork/prefork.c | 19 ++++++++++++------- server/mpm_common.c | 21 ++++++++++++++------- 3 files changed, 31 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGES b/CHANGES index f3d07bc23c..d48b4eb531 100644 --- a/CHANGES +++ b/CHANGES @@ -1,5 +1,10 @@ Changes with Apache 2.0.34-dev + *) Fix a hang condition with graceful restart and prefork MPM + in the situation where MaxClients is very high but + much fewer servers are actually started at the time of the + restart.
